He did a great job mounting the TV and was kind enough to buy the mount to make sure that I had the right one. He was communicative, punctual, careful with his work, and incredibly friendly. My only concern was that he brought his young son to the appointment (I do not think this is normal for him) and I was a bit concerned because I just moved in and the apartment was not safe for children at this time.

Our house is 98 years old, and at some point the kitchen had a set of awful four-foot fluorescent tube lights installed. We wanted to replace those with recessed lights, so we contacted Power Crew for an estimate. Michael came and looked things over, and gave us a very reasonable quote for installation (with the cost of parts included). We agreed to it, and when the day came he arrived and worked with us on the exact placement of the lights (having to work around the quirks of our house).
When he started to drill holes in the ceiling, he found that an air duct had been installed, and it didn't leave enough room for the cans. He discussed some alternative like track lights with us and wrote a new estimate, and left so we could talk it over. He was really nice and professional.
We didn't want track lights, so we did some research and found a new kind of surface-mount LED light which is very compact and can be installed into a normal ceiling box. We called Power Crew again and this time Jason came to do the work. There was a bit of a mix-up, as he thought we still wanted track lighting, but when we showed him the lights we'd found, he was very receptive to the idea. He experimented with the lights a little and found they're installed using spring clips, and it takes a fair amount of force to mount them or remove them, so the ceiling boxes would need to be pretty solid. He examined our ceiling again and took some photos, and asked if he could take one of the lights to the shop and mock up an installation of it so he could get it right in our kitchen.
We were ready a couple of weeks later, and he returned with the proper boxes to install (he had contacted the manufacturer's engineers to find which ones they recommended). He worked all day, and even though it was a tricky situation, he was able to install all five lights properly, including a smaller box to terminate the old wiring above one of them. It's not possible to install the lights perfectly flush with the ceiling, but he noticed a tube of caulk we had from another project and asked if he could use it to caulk the gap between the light fixtures and the ceiling.
Jason was also extremely nice and professional, very engaged during the entire project, and obviously very invested in doing it right and giving us the best results possible even though our house made it a challenge. We couldn't be happier with the service, and we would recommend him and Power Crew to anyone.

We donated a 55 inch projection tv and needed it moved. Aaron and his friend moved the tv and delivered it safely. He even texted me a picture of it in its new home! They were polite, honest and trustworthy. I would recommend this business and would use them again. He is now a trusted contact in my phone.

I needed a few things done in my new house once I moved in. I wanted a simple security system with monitoring plus a smart thermostat and some new smart deadbolts. I also needed help setting up my home theater gear, 55" TV mounted onto plaster, full 5.1, rear speakers mounted. Sean came out promptly, showed up on time, and took a look at the projects I needed done. He gave me a very affordable quote and was able to get parts in quickly to get started just a few days after I moved in. He was very professional, down to earth, explained how to use everything in terms I could understand, and left me with his contact info. The security system works great and my home theater system is looking clean and awesome in my new home! I also had to call him with a question the day after he installed, he didn't answer so I left a voicemail but he called me back within the hour. I can tell Sean is the kind of guy I can't count on to be there if I need something! Not only am I going to be getting more work done by him but I would absolutely recommend him to friends, family, and anyone else needing jelly with security or home theater needs!

They did an amazing job and came out faster than I expected and made my house look great with the new TVs. Customer service and professionalism was unparalleled. Highly recommended to anyone looking for professional help to mount and hang TVs.

Corey hung three antique doors on my living room wall. This is probably not a job someone does often and required some thought and planning on how to mount them, but he was up to the task. He arrived as scheduled and stayed until the job was finished. It is always impressive when your hired workers come in with drop cloths and then sweep up both inside and outside after the job! He was very patient with my "a little higher on the left; now down slightly on the right" and yet, got the job done quickly. He obviously takes pride in his work as he took pictures of the finished product. (Although it is not yet finished as the sign company needs to put the print on them yet.) Don't judge by his somewhat scruffy appearance (sorry, Corey), as I am pretty fussy (ask my family) and I would hire him back in a heartbeat.

If you reach out to him and he gives you his number, give him a call to actually discuss the details of your project. He did an excellent job mounting my tv and sound bar and hiding all the cables. He was committed to getting it done right, and was very friendly and polite. And his quote is much lower than all the local competitors. Definitely money well spent.

I hired Nestor on a couple of occasions now for surround system repair and changing my electronics over from wired to blue tooth. He is very professional, treats you right and fair with his pricing. I will definitely hire him again! Karen

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Who wall mounts TVs?

Electricians, handymen and TV installation specialists may all provide television mounting services. The person who does the mounting should be qualified and knowledgeable about basic construction concepts as well as working with audiovisual cables. In general, no specialized certificates are required to provide television mounting services, but as always do your diligence and make smart hiring decisions.

It’s important to find an experienced professional who will ensure the TV wall mount meets building code. Most regions have fire codes that don’t permit high-voltage power cords behind walls (low-voltage wires like HDMI and video cables are generally acceptable). A basic wall mount on drywall may take approximately one to two hours, while more complex mounts on brick or stone with hidden cables can take three or more hours. If you need more electrical outlets installed near your entertainment system, you may want to hire an electrician. Check out our tips for smart hiring on Thumbtack.

How much does it cost to mount a TV?

Elevate your home style with television mounting services. The national average price for television mounting services ranges between $100 and $130. Factors that can affect cost are the material of the wall you want the TV mounted on, whether you want the wires hidden, and any additional entertainment system connection you desire. It probably costs more to mount a TV on brick, stone or concrete than on drywall or plaster due to the added labor required to drill holes. For example, a company may charge an additional $99 to mount a TV on a brick wall. Here are some examples of average costs for television mounting services:

TV wall mount and up to 5 speakers wall-mounted with hidden wires: $399.

Can a TV be mounted above a fireplace?

You may be able to mount your flat screen TV above your fireplace for a more streamlined look in your living room. In fact, TV mounting professionals can hang your flat screen TV flush with a wall or from a tilting or full-motion bracket mount in any room in your home. A tilting or full-motion mount may be the best option above a fireplace so you can tilt the TV down for the best viewing angle. Whether the wall above your fireplace is brick, drywall, concrete, stone or plaster, most television mounting services can accommodate your needs. Hardier wall surfaces like concrete or brick will require more labor and expertise to mount, and will likely have a higher price range.

If you want your AV and cable wires hidden in the wall, you will also pay a higher price due to the added time and skill to properly drill the holes and run wires. Before mounting your TV above your fireplace, consult with the manufacturer about necessary distance from heat sources. If the space above your fireplace gets too warm, another location could be better for the longevity of your TV. Your television mounting services may take between one and two hours, or more depending on your home theater setup.
